Books - what are you reading just now?

General Sir Mike Jackson’s autobiography, “Soldier.” Started a bit slow, and didn’t do much detail of his early career. Picks up from the Falklands onwards.

Am getting into the Andy McNabb series of Nick Stone adventures. Very gritty and very gruesome in places but all so far have been page turner's

You can’t really say that, you are supposed to hate them. Like Coldplay.

Read them all as well, can’t remember much, but will read the future ones as well.Currently reading through the Agent Zero books from Jack Mars.

Once I got the hang of reading Dickens (slowly and always ready to go back chapters to remember who's who and what they were last doing) I found his books just a great read. Tale of Two Cities is shorter and splendid. Bleak House is epic.

That Dom Winslow cartel trilogy, do you think I could do all three in a fortnight?
Off on holiday next week and I need something to keep me occupied on the flight and beach.

I'd take the first one - Power of the dog - its great and good as a stand alone
Take summat else for other reading then read the others in due course but not one after the other - a bit intensive and ultimately quite depressing
TBH IMO they get poorer worse as the trilogy moves on should have stopped after 'Power of the dog'
 
Have just started a very weird book - March of the Lemmings by the comedian Stewart Lee. It is based on his pieces in the online Observer on Brexit for the 3 years following the referendum together with added footnotes, comments from readers and stuff from his stand up show. The jury is out.
 
Half way through The Exorcist and it's good - just read the 'crucifix' bit and the bit where Regan's head turns round 360*. Can't help but have how the film portrayed these things in my minds eye...so nothing really to imagine. And though probably quite shocking when read before the film - they are not so having seen the film. Just one of the things you have to accept as a down-side of watching a film or TV adaptation of a book you want to - or subsequently - read.
 
Break Point by Matthew "Ollie" Ollerton, now that man's had an interesting life.. Also just read Billy Binghams book, another man that should have been pretty much dead once a year from the age of about 9years old with what he got up to but thoroughly intriguing.
 
Chapter and Verse by Bernard Sumner, read both sides of the New Order falling out now and def on the side of Hooky, Barnet comes across as a knob even in his own book.

Just started "How not to run a club"
 
Currently reading 'Bring up the Bodies' by Hilary Mantel. I had thus far avoided this series, but fancied reading the new one and Wolf Hall came with a good recommendation. I really enjoyed Wolf Hall and expect to race through this one.
